The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a restaurant in Tsuen Wan to suspend business for 14 days for repeated violations of the Food Business Regulation.
The restaurant, on ground floor, No 22, Sam Pei Square, was ordered to suspend business from today (October 15) to October 28, a Food and Environmental Hygiene Department spokesman said.
"In October last year and August this year, there were two convictions for unauthorised extension of food business at the food premises.
"A total fine of $4,500 was levied and 30 points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day business suspension," the spokesman said.
He said the food premises also had convictions in June and August last year for the same offence.
"A total fine of $3,500 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered against the licensee. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days from October 30 to November 5 last year," the spokesman said.
He reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the Food Business Regulation, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
